The Bellefontaine Examiner
Isabell Johnson Lash, a resident of Abbotswood at Irving Park, Greensboro, 
N.C., for three years died early Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008, at Blumenthal 
Nursing Center. 
She was born in Champaign County on March 22, 1911, a daughter of the late 
Fred N. and Nell Calland Johnson. She graduated from Wittenberg University and 
taught English for three years before her marriage to F. Merrill Lash, who 
preceded her in death in 1964. 
After his death she taught for 11 years at Graham High School. An intelligent, 
tolerant, loving woman with a good sense of humor, her long life was an 
inspiration to many, both students and friends, who in turn, inspired her. 
In 2005, because of failing eyesight, she moved to a retirement community in 
Greensboro to be near her daughter and son-in-law. With her characteristic 
optimism, she resolved to enjoy life there and did, making a new life for 
herself and many new friends.
Survivors include a daughter, Sarah (David) Dowds of Greensboro; two 
granddaughters, Eva Merrill Dowds of New York City and Patricia (David) Dowds 
Harrison of Hanover, N.H.; and great-granddaughter, Sarah Isabel Harrison; a 
niece, Patricia (Robert) Johnson Wright; a nephew, Robert (Rachel) Smith; a 
number of great-nieces and -nephews and many cousins.
A memorial service is conducted at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, at the First 
Presbyterian Church of Urbana. Private interment is in Oak Dale Cemetery, 
Urbana. Memorial contributions may be made to the church, 116 W. Court St., 
Urbana 43078.
